Christmas worked out great because they were in town from the other side of the world.” MrBeast met Thea, a fellow content creator, during a trip to her home country 2022.

While in South Africa, MrBeast went to dinner with a mutual friend who invited Thea to join them. “When I met him, I was quite surprised how down-to-earth he was, and also how intelligent he was,” Thea recalled. “I thought YouTubers were just sort of a persona, but when I met him, I was quite surprised to see that he’s actually a nice guy.

He wasn’t sitting there with an ego.” MrBeast added, “When we were first introduced, it came through right away how brilliant Thea is.
